Exemplary work from James Wood

[Stew]

At Owen's recent hammer-in, James quickly knocked this one out. He left it lying around and a few of us saw it and admired it. At some point one evening I negotiated a trade with him.

The forging is very impressive. the only part that a grinder has touched, is the edge.

He's 14 years old.

Swine.

He wants me to critique his work.

I can only see two flaws and it's pathetic to pick up either of them.

Bevels slightly uneven:

A tiny ding in the curl:

I can't wait to see how his work improves as he gets older!! :O

He's going to go far if he's turning work like that at 14

Has he posted on BB?

A rare talent at that tender age.

He's well on his way to a practical, productive trade just when he's considering his educational options. Some very fine work.

Yep, he has.

I remember a 14 year old posting on BB recently, was impressed with the quality. What's his user name over there?

Edit:- found it, talk about flaming obvious!

(For those who haven't worked it out, his user name is James Wood.)

To be fair, it's actually jameswood, no space. That's what threw me when I looked in the members list.

Ok, I'm stoopid.

Some very good work going on there - obviously not as good as mine at 14 JK. He really needs to stop making me look bad.

That's amazing.
I also like your ring, is that damascus?
